[20 Years of the Multi Theft Auto Project]

let's go for another 20 years, hooorah!

[[REL] ConGuard (Network/connection helper)]

Version 1.01 has been released which includes optimizations for CPU usage on popular servers (> 100 players)

[also please refer to the Discord rules, don't send any unsolicited private messa]

Please create a new ban appeal which includes your MTA serial, as per the guidelines.

You can obtain your serial by opening the in-game console (F8 key default), then type "serial" (without quotes) and press enter.

[I'm really sorry for making a new topic worse I want you to clarify this for me]

You already made a topic just 12 hours ago which has already received a response.

Please refer to the previous topic and don't submit any further topics on this matter - doing so may result in further access restrictions.

[Ban Appeal]

This is basically ban evading, by proxy. The answer is still no.

[Pls see this i need to be unbanned i am neverrrr not gonna do it again please]

Temporary bans cannot be appealed.

You should think about your actions next time - unfortunately you will have to miss this event, so let it be a lesson to you for the future.

[[REL] ConGuard (Network/connection helper)]

Version 1.0 has just been released, it's a refactor but keeps all existing API / functionality (better code design and bug fixes).

Currently this resource only detects a fully lost connection (which only helps for "basic" lag-switches that kill the connection temporarily), however I'll soon be adding basic ping monitoring, with the ability to detect players with highly fluctuating ping / packet loss.

 

[How Can I Make Fire For Ped Head]

You can use https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/CreateEffect to create fire, and update the position of the effect every frame to match the player's head position, using https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetPedBonePosition (BONE_HEAD).

The fire in your picture looks like a custom effect - probably part of the model itself or some kind of tricky shader... however you should still get fairly close with what I suggested.

[How do i force 1.5.8 installer to run on Vista?]

It's not that simple, we haven't just removed support for XP and Vista from the latest builds because we are elitist for Windows 10, or the latest OS.

Also, who said the only blockers to XP and Vista is CEF? There's so much more to consider.

[How do i force 1.5.8 installer to run on Vista?]

As far as I'm aware the latest XP/Vista builds use 76.1.13+gf19c584+chromium-76.0.3809.132

The latest 1.5.8 nightly builds use 91.1.12+gcf0c26a+chromium-91.0.4472.101

XP and Vista are blockers to many potential updates and new features, your OS is 15 years old. Consider upgrading if you want to have access to modern software and features.

[Banned by mta]

Temporary bans cannot be appealed. Please wait for your ban to expire and don't repeat your actions (you know what you did).

[[REL] ConGuard (Network/connection helper)]

ConGuard
Network/connection helper for MTA:SA

This resource provides measures to deal with lagswitch / connection abuse in MTA (commonly seen in Destruction Derby servers, although you can use this resource in any environment/mode you wish).

When a player loses connection to the server, the player (and their vehicle, if it exists) will be frozen for all remote players and a "lost connection" icon will be placed above the player. Upon re-connection, the player will be unfrozen and (by default) set back to their original position before they lost connection, to avoid the teleporting exploit.

ConGuard has a few configurable options (explained on the GitHub page) and is also based on dimensions, which is useful for multi-gamemode servers who don't want to activate this in every room.

The source code & documentation can be found on GitHub below.

Download/GitHub: https://github.com/Lpsd/ConGuard

If you have any suggestions for additional features, or find any bugs, please submit a GitHub issue

[It reduces memory ! HELP FIX BUG]

@ilnaz You haven't posted any examples of how you're using dxDrawImage in your script, so it's really hard to advise you.

Please post code examples.

[SQLite Problem While Retrieving Data]

You are not providing a callback to your `UPDATE` query - which means dbPoll is not being called on the query handler, resulting in the query not being freed.

You should instead use dbExec, instead of dbQuery, for your `UPDATE` query - providing you don't need to do anything once the query has completed. Otherwise, see the wiki page for dbQuery on providing a callback function with dbPoll.

Regarding your problem with auto increment. You cannot set a text/string type column to auto increment. Auto increment is limited to INT type columns. You should have an additional column (at the start) called `id`, with INT type, which is set to UNIQUE Key and Auto Increment.

[help engineSetModelLODDistance]

Try this

addEvent("onSettingChange", true)
addEventHandler("onSettingChange", localPlayer,
function(variable, value)
	if variable == "draw_distance" then
		local state = not (value == "Off")
		draw.setVisible(state, true)
	end
end)


function draw.setVisible(visible, notifyDisplay)
	draw.visible = visible and true or false  
	draw.changeDistance(draw.visible)
	if notifyDisplay then
		triggerEvent("notification:create", localPlayer, "Draw distance", "is now "..(draw.visible and "ON" or "OFF"))
	end
end

function draw.changeDistance(max)
    for i,object in pairs(getElementsByType("object")) do
        if isElement(object) then
            local elementID = getElementModel(object)
			engineSetModelLODDistance(elementID, max and 325 or 100)
        end
    end
end

function initialize()
	draw.setVisible(true, false)
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, initialize)

Your code had all sorts of logic errors, especially with the onClientResourceStart, which was only being added when you ran draw.setVisible, but also being attached for all resources, instead of just the current one. It would never run for the current resource that way.

 

 

[help engineSetModelLODDistance]

Just so you know, the actual max value for engineSetModelLODDistance is 325

[Object vs array table structure]

Can you explain in more detail what you mean by object vs array? Are you referring to JSON data format?

If you're referring to element (object) data storage, versus standard storage in Lua tables, then Lua tables are always going to perform better. However, some more understanding of what you mean / what you're trying to do would help explain it  

[I require of a simple logic.]

@salh You are storing the password in plain text. This is NOT recommended in any circumstances! (you are breaking European law)

I would advise you to remove this code from your server immediately and replace it with a secure login system. Please see the tutorial topic that I sent above.

[I require of a simple logic.]

No, copying that code would not work because you have 2 undefined functions.

Furthermore, as stated, this is a bad way to create a remember me functionality because you appear to be storing the password in plaintext (which is illegal if you're accepting European traffic by the way - and just bad practice in general). Instead, you should be using a token system as explained in the linked tutorial

[I require of a simple logic.]

@salh This code doesn't do anything. You haven't defined the `getUserAndPass` function. Furthermore, you wouldn't be saving the actual password, you'd be using a token based system.

 

@Master_11 Please see this tutorial which includes a "remember me" functionality 

 

[[HELP]Custom Sniper Scope]

The "getPedTargetStart" function will retrieve the starting point of the target range. This target range is probably linked to the camera position (I'm not entirely sure though), which would explain why your camera is "always moving forward"

Let's say the target start range is always 1 unit in front of the camera. Your camera position is set to 0. Then you set the camera position to the start range (1), and the start range then subsequently changes to 2. This will happen forever whilst you are zoomed in.

You should store the initial target start position, instead of getting it on each frame. This can be done quite easily.

local targetStartPos = false

function aim_test ()
    if getControlState("aim_weapon") == true and getPedWeapon(localPlayer) == 34 then
		if not targetStartPos then
			local startX, startY, startZ = getPedTargetStart(localPlayer)
			targetStartPos = {x = startX, y = startY, z = startZ}
		end
		
		local x, y, z = targetStartPos.x, targetStartPos.y, targetStartPos.z
		
		local x2,y2,z2 = getPedTargetEnd(localPlayer)
		
		if not x2 then
			return false
		end            
		
		local x3,y3,z3 = getPedTargetCollision(localPlayer)
		
		if x3 then
			setCameraMatrix(x,y,z,x3,y3,z3)
		else
			setCameraMatrix(x,y,z,x2,y2,z2)
		end
    else
        if not getCameraTarget(localPlayer) then
            targetStartPos = false
            setCameraTarget(localPlayer)
        end
    end
end
addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,aim_test)

Haven't tested, but I'm fairly certain that should fix your issue.

[youtube streame panel]

You want to listen to YouTube audio? You'll need to install these on your server

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

https://www.ffmpeg.org

youtube-dl comes with a tutorial. You need to make a PHP script which is triggered by callRemote to initiate the download

[FileSystem module.]

Alternatively, you can create your own file / download manager using PHP. Currently this is the only way.

[xml vs json]

Currently, JSON is better for something like that. You can store that information in a database (which is way more efficient than reading/writing XML files)

I would give an example, but there really isn't much to show.

[[HELP] MYSQL Error]

Yeah, your arguments are all messed up. unix_socket should be part of the second argument, the string is also formatted incorrectly.

dbConnect("mysql", "dbname="..databaseName..";host="..databaseHost..";unix_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock", databaseUsername, databasePassword, "autoreconnect=1")
